my god
cdda is what zomboid endeavours to be
it's crazy the stuff you can get up to in this game, man
I mean just baseline, you can wear... as many backpacks as you want, seemingly? you'll be dogshit in a fight, because it's not easy to fight with every part of your body covered in heavy backpacks, but if you're just grabbing loot like a goblin, you absolutely can just have a bunch of military backpacks strapped to your body
Wanna wear 3 jackets over each other? go for it
all items have weight and volume, meaning you don't have the stupid zomboid thing where if you fill a glass bottle, you can't put it back in your backpack because it's heavier now
S C
the combat is significantly tougher though
Like, sure you can go toe to toe with a zombie without issue as long as you have a weapon, but unlike in zomboid, you're gonna seriously consider whether you really wanna stay and fight if there's like 4-5 zombies coming at you, at least early game
in zomboid, once you have a weapon, you're not really gonna think about running away unless there's at least like 20 zombies
S C
also due to the turnbased nature of the game, unlike in zomboid things like armor genuinely do matter
Like, in zomboid the best decision is always just enough clothing to stay warm and never any more, because that's encumberance points you can use for loot and you should never actually be hit in the first place
but in cdda, you're gonna tank some hits, and that's not even leaving the realm of zombies. Sometimes you're fighting xenomorphs, or someone with a fucking shotgun. you're gonna want some armor, even if it slows you down a little

I've finally progressed high enough up the science tech tree to be allowed to make soap
with this, I can wash all the gunk off of zombie clothes, and with tailoring I can repair them
eventually I'll get started with firearms, but they're REALLY loud in cdda
and not all that useful until you're good with them, though that's how it is in zomboid too, it's just even more brutal because well, turn based

I guess I should try to modify my car a bit too, while my food supplies still last, at least get it good enough that I can drive through hordes in search of better loot, or just to get an idea of what buildings are around
through divine mercy, the city I ended up basing nearby has two hardware stores really close to my base, so I'm very well stocked on like, tools

It was pretty quiet when I was there. I was just looking at some photos and like there is very little people around. It was Dec 2019 just as first reports of COVID were coming outta China.
On the last Japan trip in 2023 I didn't go to Osaka, tried some smaller places like Kawaguchiko.

>>1174808
Anyways I wont be able to aford the return flight so, I guess I'm going to have to pick up some extra hours.
Maybe gonna have to do some DAtAn work after all, whats the pay like 1k a month?
moon
I make like 20-30/hour depending on the project but stuff that is in the coding domain expertise or like law/health/finance all start at like 40-50+ or it regularly shoots up to like $60-80/hr for priority projects
there's a lot of stuff that's like using and rating claude code outputs or stuff like that

it's pretty generous on the pay and the workflow is pretty lenient
like you try to do a certain task using LLM helpers and then you just spend a while filling out some ratings and provide rationale for your ratings in plain english so that LLMs can process that plain english and build it into their training

what i generally do is all generalist stuff that doesn't really dip into domain expertise. so i'm just looking at how people use LLMs regularly for simple tasks (e.g. "Hey help me write an email to my coworker telling them that I'm taking time off due to parental obligations as my wife is havin a baby") and then compare two different responses (or more) and try to capture what made either response better for the specific task

there's a rubric-writing subclass of tasks which pay 30-ish for me where i do the same thing, but write strict rubrics that help draw hard boundaries (e.g. "the response should not say/do ____ specific detail")

those two classes of tasks cover a big chunk of the workflow, but applying it to specialty tasks like "claude help me write a code that integrates all flight data from free APIs and find the cheapest flights based on [metric x,y,z]"
having someone who actually can review code and describe what the model is doing poorly is a HIGH value skill there

but to answer this specifically i make about 500/week there and that's doing about 3-4 hours a day 6 days a week (or 5)
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
damn thats pretty good
feeding the LLM hive mind
moon
it's pretty generous
it's a little bit taxing to spend multiple hours wading through vacuous stuff and trying to draw hard boundaries
e.g. which response uses whitespace better? you can kinda get in your own head if you dont have some thread to follow

>>1174833
yeah im surprised how much work there actually is to do
like LLM needs a lot of data and as long as the data is somewhat structured, it's helpful

signal sparcity or whatever that's called
having a deeper reservoir of data so that signal precision carries more throughput or something

if i could do the coding stuff id probably make a lot more, or if i was medicated, but adhd brain struggles
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i imagine the more thorough your process the more valuable it is to chain of tg thought AIs
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yup i just work w claude its like an obedient junior dev
who sometimes doesnt understand or overlooks things but also seems to know about everythibg
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i feel like pouring my soul into a random corpus of training data is a bit strange in that regard

but they're probably already doing that to br fair
moon
every project has a review series of the project in parallel that has one (or sometimes as many as 3-4) other workers who are part of the same project series review the submissions that others make too
this worried me a bit at first because i thought it would drive homogenization, where we all just put what we think others want to hear, but this doesn't really happen this way too often
instead, it's more a check for glaring issues and internal consistency. where subjectivity comes into play, we generally treat that as valid data differentiation
it's better to have a few stratified opinions on subjective matters than to homogenize the signal, because LLMs are disparate enough to find meaning in sparse signals like that

i dunno i feel a lot better about AI overall from having worked on this stuff
i pretty firmly believe AI is more likely to wrap more people up in collaboration than the people it drives out of work
the data needs are just insane and it seems like it would operate best if it incorporated everyone's signal

God speed buddy

if you end up applying to that platform and tryin to do any work, let me know
i can provide some pointers
it's pretty accommodating though. every project has like pages of documentation with clear instructions
it's a bit of up-front commitment to learn the individual projects and soak it all in, but you can claim the time spent reading instructions which is pretty generous

you record your own time with clockify or whatever and submit time spent on the tasks

i generally alternate between long projects that take 1-2 hours per task, and doing some other quick things that take like 5 minutes each

there's also projects where you write system prompts for specific purposes. those projects pay really well and are generally focused on specific expert domains
like i did one for parsing content from audio transcripts and separating qualitative data from quantitative data, extracting insights from the transcript with specific quotes that support each insight, and drafting new suggestions for people to interview and what to ask based on whatever the focus of the research is, which was pharmaceutical market landscape stuff

it's kinda fun being able to materialize ideas that i wouldn't actually be able to monetize on my own. i have good ideas that would be useful, but just don't have any way to leverage it to market
and this stuff doesn't necessarily have to be a valuable tool in itself, but more about staging tasks that can be qualitatively measured and be iteratively improved upon from training

they take the stuff one person builds then move it to a different project stage where other people fill in the input data and rate the performance, and then another person writes rubrics for grading the LLM on its performance

idk it feels gratifying to do jobs where the impact can be felt. im sure you'd find stuff that you'd be interested in working on but i just dunno if they would meet your pay standards
moon
and i get a pretty healthy referral bonus if you do 10 hours of work too which i would really appreciate
between 100 and 500 depending on the domain expertise

i'm really blessed to have some IC work that is actually generous after grinding low pay stuff for so long
it's the kind of work that i dont think many people would want to do for 8 hours a day though since it's a lot of dense technical reading
but i love that shit

really I assume most things are in cdda cause holy fucking SHIT there's a lot of bullshit in this game
you can, in the base game, smoke crack and a joint, then shoot up heroin and go beat the snot out of (or more realistically be decapitated by) a xenomorph
the xenomorph may be a zombie, depends how lucky you are
S C
on an earlier save one of the first zombies I killed was a member of the bomb squad in life, giving me an absolute beast of an armor set. Full bomb defusal kit, the kinda shit they put on in Iraq to deal with strange wires on the side of the road
S C
it was however very heavy and slowed me down a lot, so because I had not realized I wasn't playing by zomboid rules anymore, I did not wear it and I got my ass handed to me

goddamnit the piece of clothing I've been wearing this whole time, thinking it was one of those vests the army use with a buncha pouches and stuff on it, is actually a BACKPACK
no fucking wonder my combat has been scuffed, I've been carrying TWO BACKPACKS around
this is the danger of cdda allowing you to wear basically an arbitrary amount of anything that isn't like, solid, like shoes or helmets
whoakun
two?!
S C
ya
I've had a military rucksack as well as the MOLE assault pack on
I thought by "assault pack" it meant, you know, those like stacks of pouches you wear over like, a ballistic chestpiece
but no, it's a backpack
granted, i should have caught on when it had storage space in the 50Liter range
S C
oh FUG, the store NEXT TO the gunstore I'm ALMOST done carving a path to is a MILITARY SURPLUS STORE
I'm gonna be LOADED!
S C
found a hazmat
BIG pog
I don't like, need it particularly, but it seems like it'll be good to have available
for that matter, hazmat suits are just fucking cool as fuck
S C
bro there's like none ammo in here, just spent casings (which tbf can be useful later, but not what I wanted from a GUN STORE)
I suppose it makes sense a gun store is among the first places to get cleaned out in the event of every end of days scenario happening at once
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

S C
both the gun store and the milsup store were already cleaned out
what a fucking waste of time

S C
one big thing cdda has over zomboid is there are SOLAR PANELS
it's BIG POG
I've got one panel on my base roof, and it's powering a freezer
crazy work
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
pog solar
S C
I've also got a small one (I would have had a LOT but it turns out I was just lucky when i tried dropping them off a roof to see if they broke, so I uuuuuh. I had 11 available, one survived the fall down, the first one, so i went "I'll drop the rest down then", and *ALL the other ones broke and disintegrated)
I can get more, but what a fucking letdown lmao

though, I have an electric car now, and once I get gud enough, I'm slapping a solar panel directly on that bitch
it's not like gasoline is in extremely short supply, but like... the sun comes out basically every day and refilling does itself
S C
I mean shit, the gas stations still work in cdda because the apocalypse happened like, last week when the game starts
it's just that it's EVERY apocalyps
and I've got... I dunno, $20K in cash cards and various bills?
so I can literally just buy gas
but again
the sun comes out every day
S C
might not be that sustainable in winter?
but like, I could put together a generator by harvesting some car parts. an engine, a tank, and an alternator hooked up to a battery stack is a generator, or works like one anyway
!ReneWy59x.
>>>/watch?v=Zm-Y1MN-SOY
S C
fuck it man I just drove a car over and slotted in a gas engine and an alternator, hooked it into my power grid
it might be inefficient, but it's very handy
S C
atm I just use it to charge up my electric car, though that's just temporary until I get some more solar panels going and stuff. The damn thing was kinda low on charge when I got it
whoakun
do they got plate carriers
S C
of course
I upgraded, cause I found a soldier zombie with it, to a US army plate carrier from my national guard one
the national guard one is lighter, but has less plate pockets and also only covers the upper torso, while the US army one covers the whole torso, which is a big upgrade

Yeah it wasn't very good, but it's serviceable
might give it to an npc once I get faction stuff going, but for myself I'm prioritizing survivability over speed and loot
I can always do more than one trip, I can take care of zombies carefully, but I can't outrun some of the more heinous creatures in the game either way so I might as well be a tank so I won't die immediately

I REALLY gotta get my paws on some actual firearms though, but despite climbing multiple radio towers by now, I haven't seen anything military in the distance
POSSIBLY I'll end up just modifying a car to be a mobile base and setting out
whoakun
national guard soldiers LOL
they get all the old gear
S C
One thing I might do, which I guess will be tomorrow because I gotta go to work soon, is make my way through the forest to my west, where I've spotted a LMOE bunker
Those are apparently often stocked like crazy with supplies, the only real downside being it's so far in the forest getting there with a car will take some doing
probably will have to cut down trees and make a path and a parking lot out there
LMOE being Last Man On Earth, they're basically prepper bunkers, by preppers who had a LOT of resources to work with
maybe there will even be firearms available
whoakun
my bunker is some concrete blocks with concrete t walls surrounding it and a bunch of sand bags
whoakun
if u get an m9 let me know i like that lil fella
S C
m911?
I think I've got 2
whoakun
m9 baretta
whoakun
lil blaxk pistol
S C
OH yeah I've got a beretta, that's the pistol I keep on me though I rarely use it
cause, you know
guns are loud, and I don't have the ammunition to use a LOT of it, so
S C
I've also been very unlucky when it comes to finding books that teach marksman or firearm skills
I've gotten pretty good with a bow, by which I mean I can hit a zombie that's 8 meters in front of me, using a heavily modified compound hunting bow
S C
that is, I can hit it
I usually do not, but sometimes I do
I've been using the bow a little bit, but I probably will relegate it to hunting before long because it's just too cumbersome to be part of my standard exploration kit, which is already kinda bogged down by all the gear I lug around
Between a MOLLE assault pack, a US army plate carrier with... I think 4? plates, an army helmet which I still haven't found a plate for unfortunately, and misc protection, I'm carrying 30KG of shit around before I even start looting anything
at all times
summer is gonna be fucking brutal once it hits cause I've mercifully not been in overly hot weather yet
S C
honestly maybe the strat for CDDA is to do most of the exploration and fighting in the winter, when it's cold enough that the ridiculous amount of padding doesn't cook you alive
but the game starts in spring by default, and the world actually changes as time goes on.

The cabin I spawned in is a little bit to my north, and I realized there was still some stuff I wanted to get from it earlier today, so I headed up there, and a fucking wasp nest had cropped up near the road. That wasn't there when I left initially
wasp nests are a real problem, too, cause cdda wasps are the size of like, dogs
and also they are very hostile, and numerous, and difficult to hit, and fast
so I gave that a wide berth. Might come back with a molotov eventually just for the hell of it. chuck it in, get back in my car and take off, let it sort itself out
not that there's much point to it, I doubt there's any real reward for dealing with the wasp nest beyond it no longer being a threat, and as mentioned earlier I'm probably moving to the LMOE bunker soon, probably when I wake up tomorrow cause my character is starting to be a bit calorically deficient and I assume the LMOE bunker will help with that

S C always be playing some game I've never heard of in my life, but you seem to be enjoying.
>>1174973
I think my only zombie games played is Left 4 Dead haha
Or PUBG zombies mode
S C
cdda is kinda what zomboid was based on, I think
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
ive played zomboid a little bit with friends it was fun tryna maintain a base
S C
Ya, zomboid is pretty pog, but cdda really is just better across the board with the exception of being strictly single player, at least imo.
Like I love zomboid, but the zombies really aren't all that threatening and there's a huge chunk of the game that serves little purpose or is outright inaccessible without fucking with the game settings.

Like you can fortify your base to hell and back in zomboid if you want to, but it's entirely for role playing
Zombies won't ever come to your base
S C
You've got Kevlar vests and stuff which while good at zombie defense is primarily acceptable as a agility tradeoff against firearms, which exactly 0 of the threats you'll face in the game are capable of using.
I'm generally not a big fan of game mechanics that are basically in there entirely for, like, larping purposes

At least they added animal husbandry in 42 so cooking is something you can actually engage in.
Why was it even possible to make stuff with milk and stuff when all of the milk on the map has expired by the time you settle down enough to spend time cooking?
I don't know for sure if cdda lets you raise animals but even if it doesn't, the list of recipes is so fucking comprehensive it's entirely acceptable for a small part of them to be effectively duds
I mean shit, I've been frying raccoon meat in oil i made from a raccoon's fat to keep myself calorically above water, and I made a hamburger from the leftovers
You can even eat the zombies if you're fucking desperate but I think that'll make you hella sick

That and honestly I'd be surprised if a game that lets you strip a car down to its base components and rebuild it as a tiny generator... Doesn't let you milk cows if you can find them.
Like that would be super silly
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
> I be nuttin' in my own eyes just to see how far I have come
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
idk in our multiplayer game the zombies did get overwhelming from time to time
you get in a bad spot it can be harrowing
but we were pretty casual
didn't really know all the mechanics but built up some defenses and got some skills up
S C
The thing is in zomboid there's very few ways to get into a situation you can't simply walk away from, unless you enable sprinters I guess
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
consider bad planning and awareness
S C
True
I mean I occasionally have gotten into a bad spot by insufficiently clearing floors in apartment buildings
That can get really dicey super fast

S C
well, the LMOE shelter was a complete dude
dud
there was a few things there that are of some use, but it's not really as stocked as I thought
it was more like one of those actual preppers, except they got bored halfway and just left some canned goods and stuff to get them through a few weeks, and some very basic tools, and that was it

I might go back there for the exercise equipment one day though
S C
I did get fucked up by a spider for my troubles though
nothing too bad, but my pants got a bit ripped and I had to use two of my bandages to keep my legs intact, so that was a bit spooky
I don't have much in the way of leg protection, after all, only my vitals are really covered by much of anything
My knees and elbows, too, but like, that's not really where the hostiles go for that much, it's just nice to have cause they're not that heavy and help a little
